I would have to disagree, I don't think he is saying it is 100% redneck. But in most of these conversations, majority wins. And SC has an uneducated redneck majority, that is all...

Well Tampa of course. They have a waterpark, amusement park, casino, nightlife, Ybor, an NFL stadium with no jail inside, great fishing right downtown-Philly is no match.

The Linc doesn't have a jail inside--that was the Vet. Other than fishing, nothing you named is not close by...

Really I did not know that Philly did not have access to amusement parks, casinos, nightlife, a nfl team and fishing

Have you ever heard of Great Adventure in Wildwood NJ for amusement parks or the six flags

Have you ever heard of a place called Atlantic City? It would satisfy your casino desires

And nightlife.... haha. Tampa is so outmatched in EVERY way

NFL teams....... Have you ever heard of the philly eagles?

And fishing.,...... have you ever heard of the jersey shore?

actually, a fair amount of people do fish in the schuylkill, delaware, and the wissahickon. no marlins, just shad and some catfish I believe but fishing nonetheless.
